I recently passed my VCAP7-DTM Design (3V0-752) at VMware Empower 2019 in Lisbon and wanted to share my experiences and give you some advice on a small VCAP7-DTM Design study guide. As I recently passed the VCP-DTM 2019 exam, I thought the VCAP exam would be similar but this was not the case. It was a difficult exam that tested […]
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about configuring Onedrive for a Horizon VDI/RDS deployment with VMware UEM. While the guide was a good and flexible way of configuring OneDrive for specific users. The setup had one major drawback being the Onedrive Installation was done in user context and not machine based. Meaning when a user logged onto the […]

While LACP on VMware ESXi has been around for a while, I noticed that many of our customers do not like to implement this feature in their environment. Reasons vary between, complexity, incorrect understanding on the ‘added value’ and many more. Because of these reasons, I had a discussion on this topic with my colleague and co-blogger Jens.

My colleague Robin Geldolf and me have recently been experiencing a 404 “webpage not found” error, when connecting to the admin page, after upgrading your Horizon connection server. To my current experience, this is for all versions from Horizon 7.7 and higher. And does not always happen as there is no mentioning of it on the known/resolved issues on the […]
Following guide will describe how to configure OneDrive in combination with VMware UEM. With the granularity of making OneDrive only available for a specific group of users. Or depending on the use-case available for everyone. UPDATE: I have written an update blog where I use the machine based Onedrive installer. I would advise to use a product like FSLogix to […]
A quick solution blog regarding joining a new pod into a cloud pod architecture that gets stuck at 50% Last week, I wrote a blogpost on the issues that I had with upgrading a Horizon environment using the cloud pod architecture (CP). There I wrote about how much time I lost with troubleshooting and in the end redeployed a new […]
Recently I did a Horizon upgrade from 6.2.4 to 7.7 using the cloud pod architecture. Each pod contained an own vCenter with a 6 host VSAN cluster. The horizon backend and VDI Desktop were hosted on this cluster. The plan was to bring 1 POD down for maintenance and move all active sessions to the other active pod. Note: Unfortunately […]
Within a VDI environment, it is a delicate procedure to configure printers with user personalization through VMware’s User Environment Manager (UEM). That is because every customer has specific needs regarding the printer setups in their VDI environment. We frequently come across situations like this: A user accesses his virtual desktop from within the corporate network and gets his network printers assigned (for […]
While many companies advise to ‘simply ignore’an invalid certificate warning on internal sites, this will encourage incorrect public browser behavior.
